Wow! We have had a lot of things happen here this last week! The craziness of the mission out here in Georgia never seems to disappoint.
Tropical storm Zeta passed through last Tuesday, taking out a ton of trees and power lines, along with all electricity in our house for 24 hours. It didn't affect us too much other than the power outage, but we used the storm as an opportunity to go help and pick up debris in front of people's houses. Most all of the power lines are up and functional once again, so you could say we're back in business.
Another crazy thing is that Elder Stearman got an emergency transfer! He is off to be a zone leader out in Calhoun and I will be here training Elder Galvão! He is a brand new missionary who just finished up at the home MTC. He was born and raised in Manaus, Brazil, but moved to Rexburg Idaho 2 years ago, making him fluent in both Portuguese and English. I feel so blessed to have him as my new companion, and look forward to the life lessons he will teach me. And, we're here in the best district in the United States. "A district full of giant slayers" one might say ;)
And other than those two major events we have continued working hard and getting things done in this area. I have grown a very deep love for the people here in Georgia. A love that motivates me every day to get up and do my best, no matter the circumstances.
I love you all, I love this work, and I love my savior Jesus Christ. Have a fantastic week!
Love,
Elder Perry
